I recently got to know about google local guide program and i immediately signed up when i found out that the reviews and photos will help people who are using google maps. frankly i had already benefited from this program and i was checking the pictures on google maps all the time without thinking who posts them 
I just started posting my reviews and the pictures and i couldn’t stop from there, and i guess i have now contributed to google maps 31 weeks in a row!.. i advise everyone to start contributing to this awesome community and help people. i feel being a local guide has the following advantages.
-
The most important you are helping people know more about the place, reviews and actually getting a feel of the place even before visiting.
-
Maps also acts as your timeline to cherish the memories of the places you have visited
-
The number of views on the pictures kinda keep motivating every time you see that there are thousands of views on your pictures.
-
Adding new places will also benefit the new businesses
-
in addition to the above you also get some perks from google for being a local guide.
so what are you waiting for? sign up and welcome to this great community!
